WOW! Day 20 Feb. 18

YES!  Day 20 and I'm still aware of what I'm eating and drinking!  There's always that little nagging fear in the back of my mind that I'm going to chuck this since past behaviors are hard to overcome for me.  I quote Dr. Phil "the best predictor of present behavior is past behavior."   But I refuse to give up hope.   I mentioned hope to one of my friends and she said she had a saying written down somewhere in her office that said "we can live x number of days without water, and x number of days without food but we can't live one moment without hope" and I'm a believer in that.   I think these first twenty days of TRYING TO CHANGE MY POOR HABITS AND CHOICES is becoming a routine - can it be this could become a habit? A real way of life?  A permanent part of me?
 
I'm looking forward to weighing in and that's just not like me.
